Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 9,1916.

Application led August 6, 1915. Serial N o. 43,983.

To all whom t may concern.'

.Be it known that I, JOHN F. KREYIKV, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lynch, in the county of Boyd and'State of Nebraska, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clothes-Washing Devices, of which the following is a specification. i i

This invention relates to improvements in clothes washing devices and has for its object to provide means whereby a continuous stream of water is forced through the clothes being washed. j n

Another object of the invention isto proL vide automatic means for forcing4 water through the clothes being washed.

Still another object of the invention is to provide a combined clothes pounder and sucf tion device for drawing water through clothes being washed.v

With the above and other objects in view f which will hereinafter be more fully yeX- plained, I have invented the device illustrated in the accompanying drawings 4in Figure 1, is an elevational view of my invention, and Fig. 2, is a vertical sectional view of the device and a tub of washing in which it is operatively located. i

Like reference `characters indicate like .parts throughout the specification and in the Copies of this patent maybe obtained forfrve cents each, by addressing the through space ycause it to be ejected through the outlets 15 smaller than the member 2 and is held spaced entirely around the member 8 with an inlet 11 extending all around the device.

When the device is placed in a boiler 12 with the portion 7 seated upon the bottom 13 ofthe boiler, steam will be generated in the chamber 14, which will pass out through the tube 3 and in so dongwill suck water up 10 Vand through the tube 3 and and 16 of the members 5 and 6, from which it will pass back into the boiler 12. Thus a continuous circulation of ywater will pass through the clothes 17 in the boiler when the latter is being heated. When the device is used as a clothes pounder the parts 5 and 6 are grasped by the hands of the operator andthe pounder operated up and down upon the clothes forcing water through the clothes with each successive up and down movement.

Having now described my invention that which I claim to be new and desire to procure by Letters Patent is A clothes pounder consisting of a conically shaped 'inner member a similar outer member terminating in a tube, said members being spaced apart, said tube terminating in a pair of arcuate handle forming tubes, said inner member projecting below said outer member, said inner member having an opening into said outer member.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses. f
